My modem is shot, my laptop is acting up again, and Windows wants to install a new AI-heavy version on said acting up laptop. Firstly, screw Microsoft, they can shove their AI where the sun don't shine. Secondly, please don't die little laptop. PLEASE!!!! Guess I'll get a new modem tomorrow. SIGH!

I absolutely loved Tom Skerritt in Steel Magnolias. He and Shirley MacLaine played off each other so well, making for some hilarious scenes. I need to watch that movie again soon. RIP 💔

New fountain pen day! Times two by surprise. I wasn't expecting to get the Kaküno, it was backordered, but here it is. Yay! And the Kaweco Lunar Sport I was so impatiently waiting for. I can't wait to swatch all these new inks I picked up. I've really started loving R&K ink. Off to get inky! 🖋️

Living with a goblin brain is difficult at the best of times, but when I have to fight to stop myself from doing something bitchy and petty because something hasn't gone the way my goblin brain laid it out, then it gets even harder to deal with. Deep breath, do not give in to the impulse.

It's been over 48hrs and still nothing. Even if they do email me soon, it's raining. I'm not going anywhere. I'm busy over the weekend, they're closed Monday, the hot water is off in my building all day Tuesday. I'm not getting this pen any time soon. Sigh! I'm gonna go eat a tub of chip dip. 😭💔🖋️

Impatiently checking my email every 30 seconds for the confirmation that the new fountain pen I ordered yesterday is ready for pickup. They said 24hrs. If I don't get the email in the next 15 minutes I won't be able to go pick it up today. 😭🖋️

Thank you City of Toronto By-law enforcement officer Steve for kicking my landlord's ass and getting the heat turned on. Now I won't have to sleep in my toque tonight, which I did last night. 😑🙂 #Toronto

Purple! Finally! I have been waiting for Kaweco to do this fountain pen in purple. I want the dark purple one, and I'll likely end up with the light purple too. I love purple! 🖋️

I FOUND IT!!!! I knew I would when I wasn't looking for it. And it was exactly where I thought it was. I swear I checked that bin half a dozen times. I guess I wasn't meant to find it before. The universe works in mysterious ways. 🤷‍♀️

I put something away 2 weeks ago, and for the life me I can't find the damn thing. I looked in all the logical places that I would put it, and even in all the places I wouldn't. It's just... gone. I was having an anxiety attack at the time but still, it should be SOMEWHERE in here, it's not. 🤷‍♀️🫤

Amazing that a 9yr old laptop with Windows 10 works and a 5.5yr old that was only used for 3 years doesn't. It's so annoying having to set this thing up again after cleaning it out 6 months ago. And I'll have to do it all over again if and when I buy a new laptop. I should've stayed in bed.

I got my voter card for the upcoming Toronto Mayoral election in the mail today. I checked out the list of candidates online, no raccoon running this year. Pity. I trust a raccoon more than any of the candidates who are running. I'll just have to hold my nose and vote the person I hate the least.

Looking for a 2027 wall calendar is a chore this year. There's so much AI slop out there. I'll stick to real artists. I've narrowed it down to The Group of Seven, Emily Carr, Edward Gorey, or Gustav Klimt. I'll pick one soon so I don't miss out. I hate AI. It's ruining everything. 😠 #noAI

They aren't "TV shows", they're streaming shows. They are not the same thing. TV shows are on regular network television, streaming shows are held hostage behind subscription pay walls. I hate streaming, it's destroying television.
